You'll learn how to: Sweep your existing network to find high-fit contacts you've gone cold on, plus surface fresh outreach opportunities.
Time: 30 seconds to start. Results in 2-10 minutes.
Prereqs: You have ICPs configured (Configure an ICP). Your network has data sources connected (Chrome extension + LinkedIn captures, email, calendar).
What the scanner does
The Network Scanner runs three passes over your existing network:
- ICP fit re-score: re-evaluates every contact against your current priority ICPs. Catches people whose data improved (enrichment, new signals) since their last score.
- Engagement gap detection: surfaces high-fit contacts you haven't touched in too long (typically 60+ days for top-priority, 90+ for secondary).
- Signal aggregation: pulls in any LinkedIn activity, job changes, or company news from the last 30 days for ICP-matching contacts.
The output is a ranked list of "people worth reaching out to, sorted by likely value".
Steps
- In the left sidebar, click Network.
- Find the Network Scanner card / action. Common location: top-right of the Network view.
- Click Run scan.
- A progress indicator shows the scan running. Typical scan on 1,000 contacts takes 2-5 minutes.
- When complete, results appear as a sortable list:
- Name + photo + title + company.
- ICP fit score with the matched ICP labelled.
- Last touched date.
- Fresh signals (if any in the last 30 days).
- Suggested next action.
Action the list
Each row has inline actions:
- Send email (compose pre-filled with their address).
- Add to rhythm if they're not already in one.
- Add to campaign if you have an active sequence for this ICP.
- Mark actioned / dismiss for rows you've handled or want to ignore.
The fastest pattern: scroll through the top 10-20 results, action each, then close.
Schedule recurring scans
If your plan supports it, the Scanner can run on a schedule:
- Open the Scanner config.
- Pick Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
- A scheduled scan produces a digest emailed to you on the chosen cadence.
Useful for staying on top of network drift without manually running.
What it won't find
- New contacts (people not yet in your Nynch network). For those, use the Prospect Finder.
- Contacts blocked / blacklisted.
- Contacts in workspace-shared sharing policy that you don't own (unless you have visibility).
If something goes wrong
- Symptom: "Network Scanner card isn't there." → Fix: Your plan may not include it. Check Settings > Account.
- Symptom: "Scan completes but the list is empty." → Fix: Either you have no ICPs (set one in Go To Market), or your network is too small for the scanner to find gaps. Try after adding more contacts.
- Symptom: "All results have low ICP scores." → Fix: Your network doesn't match your current ICPs well. Either expand the ICPs or focus on Prospect Finder for net-new high-fit contacts.
- Symptom: "Same contacts keep appearing in scan after scan." → Fix: You haven't actioned them. Either reach out or dismiss; dismissed contacts won't reappear.
